for period of 90 days from the date of purchase by the User. The User shall have the option to register this
Product at any time within 90 days of the date of purchase to ensure Warranty support and access to Product

months, without a requirement to register the Product. This Warranty is not transferable or assignable without

REFUND UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
Product Return Policy
During the Warranty period, the User may contact Avocent Technical Support to report any concerns about defects
in material or workmanship. Avocent reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, that a defect in the

MATERIALS AUTHORIZATION (“RMA”) number. The RMA number must appear on the packing slip, proof of
purchase, AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF EACH SHIPPING CARTON for any authorized returned Product. Avocent
will designate a shipping address (“Ship To Address”) that must be used for each authorized returned Product.

Unauthorized returns or collect shipments will be refused. Replacement parts or Products will be covered under
this Warranty for the duration of the original Warranty that applies to the original purchase.
